Nowadays, the United States is like a high-speed machine, running non-stop. The United States has entered a full-scale wartime economy, and in just over a year, tremendous changes have taken place. Once the American war machine is running at high speed, it will be like a Pandora's box being opened, and a mysterious force will envelop the land of North America. It was a scene in full swing, a scene that cannot be described in words. In order to meet the military supplies of the two major battlefields in the east and west, the astronomical amount of weapons and ammunition produced by the United States and a large amount of military supplies are constantly being sent to all parts of the world.

During the war, New York did not seem to see the tension of the war. It's just that the footsteps of the National Guard patrols on the street can slightly feel the atmosphere of war, and occasionally there are soldiers carrying trucks, showing a hint of clues.

At this time, at the entrance of Chinatown, a girl in a coat was slim, with an anxious look on her face, as if she was waiting for someone. "Sister Wu, I've kept you waiting!" Mei Ting's face was flushed and she panted and ran over. "Mei Ting, how is the matter between the two of us. I've done a good job with my father and mother, how are you? Do your parents approve you to go to China? ”

"I didn't dare to say it?" "When is it all the time, you still hold your breath! I'm so anxious! ”。 Wu Yaqiong and Mei Ting met at the Overseas Chinese Association, which needed a large number of staff because the headquarters of the Overseas Chinese Association in New York was very busy. Mei Ting's medical school, due to the need for a large number of medical personnel at the outbreak of the war, allowed students who had studied for more than two years to graduate early and serve the war. Mei Ting has long wanted to go to China and join China's anti-Japanese battlefield like her sister. It happened that the overseas Chinese headquarters was recruiting volunteers, so she went to work at the overseas Chinese headquarters. During her work, she got to know Wu Yaqiong, and the two soon became good friends.

Not long ago, Wu Yaqiong heard from Mei Ting that a group of people were going to return to China secretly, so she persuaded Mei Ting to persuade his father to go to China together. Mei Ting had already thought about this, and the two hit it off. "You're really anxious to kill me, and you don't even say when it's over. I'll talk to your father, and if you can't go, I'll have to go. "Sister Wu, I said that we will go together, why did you change your hexagram." "Sister Fang, am I changing my hexagram or are you cowardly!" Mei Ting said in a hurry: "Sister Lin, there is someone who can help us." ”

Wu Yaqiong stopped and asked, "Who is it?" "A few days ago, Mr. and Mrs. Qian came to my house for a temporary stay, and they may have secretly returned to China. I get along very well with Mrs. Qian, just like sisters, the key is that my father has special respect for Mr. Qian and Mrs. Qian, and I think it will be successful to find Mrs. Qian to help. "Don't hesitate, what are you waiting for?" Mei Ting led Wu Yaqiong into the courtyard and went straight to the room where Qian Xuesen lived. Jiang Ying was a little surprised when she saw the two girls breaking in, and asked, "Mei Ting, what happened?" "Mrs. Qian, Mr. Qian is not here!" "He has something to go out, sister, how many times have I said it, don't call me Mrs. Qian, how can I forget!"

"Sister Jiang, don't be angry, you will be my own sister in the future!" "That's pretty much it!" Jiang Ying glared at him with disgust and began to look at Wu Yaqiong. "Sister Jiang, this is my good friend Wu Yaqiong, we have something to ask you for?" Jiang Ying and Wu Yaqiong said hello and smiled: "Sister, what do you need me to do?" Do I need to check if I have a sweetheart? "My sister is really good at laughing, that's the case, I heard that a group of people are going to return to China secretly, please ask my sister for help, Sister Wu and I are going to return to China to participate in the Anti-Japanese War!"

"Returning home? Who do you listen to? Jiang Ying became alert. I know by eavesdropping on your conversations. "Two sisters, it's not that my sister doesn't help, this matter must be agreed by the person in charge, I can't do anything!" Who is in charge, I will talk to him! Returning to China to participate in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression is the voice of overseas Chinese, and I don't believe that this person in charge disagrees. "Wu Yaqiong seems to be very confident." Two sisters, the requirements of the secret returnees this time are very strict, and I have no right to introduce you, because this is discipline. ”

As soon as Jiang Ying's words fell, footsteps came from the courtyard. There was no time to dodge, and the three of them hurriedly went into the ear room on the side of the living room. "General Tao, please take a seat!" Accompanied by Mei Yixuan's welcoming voice, I saw him leading Tao Yong, Qian Xuesen, Wang Kai, Qian Weichang and others into the living room. After the guests were seated, Mei Yixuan instructed his subordinates to serve tea. At this time, Wang Kai, the head of the North American underground organization, said: "General Tao, everything is ready, only the east wind is owed, and I finally hope for you." "Mr. Wang, I'm actually more anxious!"

Wang Kai continued: "General Tao, Qian Xueshen's group, Qian Weichang's group, including other scientists and their families, a total of 132 people, have all arrived in New York and are currently scattered and placed in hotels. In addition, the experimental equipment purchased in the United States, including various books, has been prepared and is waiting for you to take over. Tao Yong wore the uniform of a British naval officer, and said heroically: "My fleet has arrived at the dock of New York's 12th District, consisting of two destroyers, four submarines, and a supply cargo ship. ”

"I have informed Mr. Herman that all the supplies we are carrying will be loaded on board this evening, and that we will depart the morning after tomorrow. All personnel were asked to board the ship tomorrow to avoid arousing suspicion from US intelligence. At the moment German submarines are very rampant in the Atlantic, and several Allied ships are sunk every day. For safety, our routes first sail south along the east coast of the United States and directly to the Brazilian coastline in South America. ”

"Since German submarines were mostly active in the northern Atlantic, we reached the coastline of Brazil and then crossed the Atlantic Ocean to the Cape of Good Hope in South Africa, as long as we rounded the Cape of Good Hope in Africa. Choosing such a route is long but safe. Your security is better than the fleet itself, I hope you understand??????。 At this time, Wu Yaqiong felt that this voice was very familiar when she heard it, and she couldn't help but look into the living room through the crack in the door.

The officer who spoke had his back to her, but the familiar back suddenly made Wu Yaqiong very excited, and suddenly she pushed open the door and rushed out, Jiang Ying and Mei Ting also walked out of the ear room involuntarily. The crowd was deliberating, and they were shocked to see a beautiful girl rushing out of the aureus with a flushed face. Wu Yaqiong faced Tao Yong, a pair of melancholy eyes looked directly, and did not shy away from it at all. "Miss Wu, are you ??? How here! Tao Yong didn't have any mental preparation, and hurriedly stood up and spoke incoherently.

Wang Kai knew what was going on and said, "General Tao, this is not something I deliberately arranged. "You provoked me, why are you so ruthless?" Wu Yaqiong was shocked, and tears flowed out. Seeing this, Mei Yixuan hurriedly beckoned everyone to leave and take shelter temporarily. Tao Yong was very embarrassed and said: "Yaqiong, although I said goodbye two years ago, I have never forgotten you. After Tao Yong finished speaking, he took out a handkerchief from his arms to show his heart. Wu Yaqiong couldn't control it anymore, threw herself into Tao Yong's arms, and sobbed softly.

Tao Yong's brain went blank, and his body stood stiffly. After a long time, Wu Yaqiong stopped crying and said: "I know you have a special mission, but at least I have the awareness, can I hold you back?" I've been thinking about you for the past two years, but I don't know anything about you. You captured my heart and abandoned it mercilessly. But my happiness and long future are inseparable from you, you write so easily! "Yaqiong, I was wrong, you punish me!"

"This is what you said, since I don't have high requirements to accept punishment, take me away, I want to return to China to participate in the War of Resistance!" "Does this ???, your parents agree?" Tao Yong looked for a reason. "My parents are also patriots and they are very supportive of my decision. A gentleman is hard to chase after a horse, you don't want to regret it! "Alright! I promise to take you back to China, but you will have to follow the organization's arrangements. Wu Yaqiong nodded excitedly and said, "I listen to you, but there is one more person you must take away." "Who is it?" "Mei Ting!"

"Haha! General Tao, my daughter is too old to stay, and I respect her choice. Moreover, it is an unshirkable responsibility for overseas children to return to China to participate in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression. As for her mother's work, I'll do it! Ladies and gentlemen! Today is a double happiness and should be celebrated. The first is the reunion of General Tao and Miss Wu, a pair of lovers, and the second is to practice for you! Everyone was overjoyed and the atmosphere was lively. In the afternoon, Tao Yong went back to the ship, Jiang Ying, Mei Ting, and Wu Yaqiong were still unsatisfied, and they were full of longing in the face of the long journey back to China.

After listening to Wu Yaqiong's romantic love story on the sea, Mei Ting fell into contemplation with envy, and Jiang Ying blessed: "Sister Yaqiong, you have a fate to meet thousands of miles away, but you don't have a chance to meet on the other side, your story is too romantic, it can be written into a book." As the saying goes, good things are grinding, General Tao is very good, I congratulate you! Wu Yaqiong said a little shyly: "If I didn't want to return to China, I might really be at the end of the world with him, and I want to thank Sister Mei Ting for fulfilling me!" ”

At this time, Mei Ting seemed to be silent in some kind of reverie. Jiang Ying and Wu Yaqiong coincidentally observed Mei Ting's expression, "Sister Mei Ting, are you fantasizing about meeting a prince charming somewhere!" Jiang Ying teased, Mei Ting came to her senses and said with a crimson face: "Sister Jiang Ying, you are so bad!" The three women suddenly made a mess. After being lively for a while, Jiang Ying said: "Two sisters, we are about to return to the motherland that has suffered many disasters and humiliations, and we will join the battlefield against the invaders. ”

Jiang Ying had a determined expression on her face, and her eyes flashed with a wistful gaze. Mei Ting and Wu Yaqiong were infected by it and also looked forward to it, I don't know how long it took, Wu Yaqiong seemed to remember something: "Sister Jiang Ying, sister Mei Ting, I have to go back and prepare for tomorrow's boat." Jiang Ying said: "Sister Yaqiong is right, you will be on the boat tomorrow, you two should spend more time with your mothers, don't let them be sad and worried!" ”

Tao Yong's jeep was parked at the pier of Block C in District 12, and from a distance, two destroyers, four submarines, and a cargo ship were parked side by side at the berth. The destroyer numbers 112 and 113 are very eye-catching. The selection of these two sets of port numbers is taken from the order of the Wicks-class destroyers of the United States. The reason is that the United States has produced only 111 Wicks-class destroyers, and has not been producing warships of this class since then. Tao Yong stopped and involuntarily began to carefully examine the majestic posture of the battleship again.
